In the accounting world, the advice to trim the bottom five or ten percent of clients each year is often thrown around. If you have the ability to replace this client, that is one option.

If you choose to retain the client, retrain him or you. You know the client, yourself, and the situation far better than we do. Will an email with an excerpt from the contract quiet him down? What about responding with "It will be done when it's done" or "You are one of my clients. If you want me to work only for you, you will have to pay me much more."?

It is up to you to decide if you can allow the pressure to roll off your back or not - I'm guessing you have a hard time with that based on your post. That is a useful trait to cultivate, perhaps you can use this client for that until he decides to search for someone less learned in the art, someone who will jump when he demands.

> Could it be a message? Why to send from place to place a radio signal when we could set up a bunch of planets in an improbable/impossible regular configuration to be noticed from everywhere during a very long time frame?

Intuitively, for signalling purposes, setting up six planets in a weird orbital configuration to attract attention seems like it would take WAY more energy to do. Also, it tells you nothing about how to reply to the hail.

Though I could see it as some kind of solar system-sized monument.

I don't understand your argument. Even on insurance, a lot of Americans routinely ignore preventive care because of the hassles, overhead and out of pocket costs even after insurance. Unless you are lucky to have great insurance by your employer. The point is that insurance should NOT be involved in preventive care. It should be a direct free market cash exchange b/w just 2 parties. Patient and doctor. That's it. NO premiums, no copays, no coinsurance, no claim paperwork, no calling insurance companies to figure out the charges etc etc and most importantly, no dependency on having a job to be able to afford going to a doctor even for preventive care.
In my case, searching for my network name in Keychain Access brings up 2 items, one in my System keychain and one in the iCloud one.

Both of them end up displaying the raw password on the detail view now, though I do indeed remember that a year ago I saw some wireless passwords being in hex instead.

I'm not denying they might be reversibly-encrypted (although this doesn't happen to me anymore for some reason), but in any case for a WPA(2)-PSK network the key cannot be hashed using a one-way irreversible hash because it is needed as-is to actually complete the authentication. What you're seeing is encryption and not hashing.

> They want to prevent competitor browsers from using these APIs so people are forced to use Chrome

That is not, in ANY way or by ANY stretch, their argument, although I'll agree it is clearly their intention. Their argument is very clearly based on a security perspective.

> Yes, you can steal Chrome's keys, but Google can easily update those in Chrome. Are you going to write an automated system to extract the keys from Chrome on every update? Doubtful.

Really? You think malware authors won't take such a simple step as that if it makes them money?! You're insane.

Besides which you don't (currently) have to do that because they've never changed!

> This stops browsers like Opera and Brave from using the APIs.

No, their terms of service do that. Otherwise, Opera and Brave could just go pull the keys out of the source and use them.
this seems ripe for abuse

Correct, I know at least 5 people who bought GME this week. It's way bigger than WSB now.
When Python was being conceived OOP was all the rage, with "everything is an object in Python" motto. Even if you want, you can't have bare structs, you need to create a class. At this point refusing to add a method to it and using external functions to modify its state is just a matter of taste - in many cases it makes sense, and in several it doesn't.
2008 was the worst year by far in the history of hedge funds, almost all lost money and hundreds of funds closed. They certainly did not all short the housing market, in fact there's several books and a Hollywood film about the few outsiders who did.
Property damage? I mean literally police stations and city halls were attacked across the US and many people did die in the protests, and cops were even killed at random in the name of BLM. Don’t try to stand on the grave of one individual officer in the case who volunteered to protect the building and reports still read his “injuries were unknown” and report it as if it was a murder. Officers die every day around the country from a traffic stop and somehow it is an “insurrection” when one dies in a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people. And to you that fault is all of those hundreds of thousands of people? Did anyone at your high school ever murder someone, does that make you a murderer because you all were not ideologically diverse and had the same education. It is prejudice to assign others blame by virtue of association. There was no hate by many people they simply wanted election integrity to be verified and allow investigation to occur.
MySQL is a poor example... for a while, their client library license was GPL and insisted that anything not using a commercial license needed to be GPL, which is one of the reasons I pushed against MySQL for a long time, one of a long list of reasons over the years.
Ask HN: Why can't we install drivers for ARM devices like we can can on x86?
You are probably familiar with the interoperability of x86 platforms. Graphics cards, ram, sounds cards, USB devices, network devices, etc.

When you move from one component to another, it's as simple as installing a driver and everything will just work.

I understand that a challenge with ARM SoCs is that chip makers need to create complete OS releases that contain all of the drivers for that SoC/it's embedded components.

This means that despite a device having the same GPU or NIC as another device, there isn't an easy way to take the drivers for the known devices and putting them on another (similar) OS.

A few examples:

Despite running a linux kernel, an Android phone can't have the hardware drivers extracted from its ROM and then dropped on another Linux based OS. e.g. you can't run the ARM build of Ubuntu on a phone.

Despite running a linux OS and being an open platform, you can't "just" run any distro on a Raspberry Pi.

Similarly, Microsoft doesn't provide an ISO for ARM Windows because you need to have the drivers ready to go before you boot. This means the conventional installation method of Windows doesn't make sense in the context of an ARM device.

Any reason we don't have a more generalised and modular approach to Arm drivers?
Do drug companies get involved with insurance companies? I thought the pharmacies purchased the drugs, and then they handled that at the point of sale.
You sure about that?

That bill can be for an amount that varies wildly based on your insurance, the doctor, who helps the doctor, what lab they send things too, and a large number of other options. If things work out well, your bill could be for $30. If you don't remember to ask the right questions, the bill could be $30,000.
The regulation of the underclass.
That assumes that they need more employees in the first place. Even then I don't believe companies hiring more employees is necessarily a good thing, unless you believe in work for work's sake.

Robust corporate taxation pays for decent social safety nets/UBI, such that people aren't at the mercy of the whims of whatever mega-corp they're dependent upon for survival. This has the added benefit of naturally improving wages and worker's rights, while allowing for the removal of a minimum wage.

It also has the added benefit of decoupling artistic expression from corporate funding.
> I tried this once last year before I had a membership, and the person at the entrance told me they would need to get an employee to escort me, and it might take an hour, because they're busy.

> Presumably this is the kind of thing that a court would smack down, since I'm pretty sure they're required to actually provide reasonable access, but I was just trying it for fun and didn't make a fuss about it.

Also it makes no sense for them to need to escort you. They scan your card on checkout so how would you buy stuff other than alcohol anyway?

Anyway I've never heard of anyone being told that before. I understand not making a fuss (we are social animals after all), but it probably should be done so they don't keep trying BS like that.
I made some decent money holding puts the last few days. I would bet you're not alone in your thoughts, but I also wouldn't bet on when this will actually happen.
But what if retail investors start to make up a larger % of investors? Then the dominant philosophy is hype, popularity and trying to sell to a greater fool. This is already happening: retail investors are growing in number.

Originally, when institutions were the major players, stock prices followed fundamentals because most ppl cared about the revenue, earnings and cash flow. But what happens when the demographics change?

I think the whole problem with DRY is that it's too often about adopting layers of abstraction that aren't useful. They're not worth the overhead they demand.

Therefore, the opposite of the DRY issue could (should!) be Worth A Preemptive Unhooking of State. And most of that stuff will not be at all worth unhooking whatever state you've got in mind, in order to go into whatever layer of abstraction is required to DRY up something absolutely trivial and meaningless. Semantics matter. We need to be focussing on what's important in the problem set, not getting derailed into computational linquistics.

Code that is WAPUS-Y might be deeply unfamiliar territory to our more rigorous brethren, because the very idea of asking whether something is Worth A Preemptive Unhooking of State implies there are matters outside what we learn in comp sci, a subject to our coding outside the coding itself.

But that is so often true.

And maybe this framing of it can be, erm, sticky and illustrative in its own right :D
> waste their time watching tv, drinking with friends or getting high.

How much time per week would you find acceptable to spend on these activities? I refuse to believe that number is "0 hours", that would be an inhuman (without an 'e') expectation.

Time to decompress is super important, and frankly, it is the very essence of living. It is not at all a waste of time - it's their time anyways, who are you to judge? To anyone reading this: The attitude displayed above is toxic and actively harmful. Please ignore what they've said; you can be successful AND drink with friends or get high, even a lot.

Balance is important, but you are not obliged to work on self-improvement at all times (or at ANY TIME - full stop). This insinuation smacks of victim blaming and a superiority complex. The concept that you're 'wasting time' by spending it enjoying yourself is absolutely absurd, insidious, offensive, and IMO just plain mean.

There have been a few different issues asking for that for years [1].

This is a complete mischaracterisation of CMake usage.

Today, it's better at portability than most Autotools builds I've used. In projects which maintain both systems side-by-side, I've had Autotools fail on Solaris, MinGW and Cygwin while with CMake it worked without trouble. And that's for projects which hadn't specifically tested and fixed defects for portability issues on these platforms. Empirically, CMake had better platform coverage.

As for the probing of features, take an actual look at what CMake provides. Over an order of magnitude more feature tests. The problem with the Autoconf feature testing is that the vast majority of the tests are 15 years obsolete at this point. The CMake tests are mostly for contemporary platforms. That's where the value lies.
> It get dangerous

True. Remember all the lynchings of white people in the South by the BBB, for offenses sometimes as minor as drinking from the wrong water fountain?

Or when BLM marched, with torches in hand, chanting "Blood and soil" and "You will not replace us"? There was even a Neonazi woman who was ran over by a BLM activist driving a car.

And what about the day when BLM terrorists invaded the Capitol threatening to kill everyone who wouldn't break the law and vote Obama back into the presidency? That day was wild.

Funny because honestly 10 years ago people said very similar things about Apple under Jobs that people say today about Tesla under Musk. One big difference is that Twitter exists, so now you get to hear directly from certain CEOs outside of highly polished and rehearsed presentations, whereas 10 years ago the public never got that chance.

And don't get me started about what people said about Amazon's profitability and fiscal stability 10-15 years ago. Amazon's PE ratio was around 4000 whereas Tesla's is 1500.

My speculation, and that's all it is, speculation, is that for the most part people invest in companies that they want to see succeed and by investing in it, they become a kind of participant in the future growth and success of the company. It's mostly a place for people to park their money in a venture that they want to see flourish. There is no magic formula you plug into an Excel spreadsheet and get out a perfect stock price, there is no metric that can reliably be used to press a button to invest. You see a company working in an area you are interested in and that has a chance to succeed in, you have a positive feeling about the company, its products, its people, then you invest.

Good luck finding a stable, fiscally responsible and reliable company that ticks off all the fundamental indicators, a CEO who is a rock who never offends anyone or anything, and has a stock that does more than barely beat the rate of inflation and maybe pays out a measly 1-2% dividend.

The reality is that if the degree to which you value a stock is based on its PE ratio and other naïve but nice sounding metrics, then to be blunt you're no more sophisticated an investor than the people blowing their money on GME.
This is the sign of someone who has never been in grad school
Google and FB have a huge share of the internet reading market; polls repeatedly show that over 30% of the population gets its news from Facebook posts, and another large share get info from Google searches. Twitter also plays a huge role, and soon to be added, stuff like Gab where no you will not be served up any liberal stuff. With the market dominated by a few "aggregators" it's not quite accurate to say, oh, news sources can just get their own following. Of course they can get some market share; the NYT has done better than most newspapers at that, and Breitbart even better, due I think to its much better alignment with social media (sensationalism, tribalism, etc.)

Just because you can find CNN(or even MSNBC) on your TV or go to their website, doesn't address the role of FB and Google in dissemination of news. Let me repeat, over 30 percent of Americans get news from their Facebook feeds. Facebook uses these feeds to attract advertising on a scale no media producer can even dream of, and it comes from the same advertising budgets.

I have to say, when you name call people who disagree with you (very stupid or disingenuous), it's a good indicator, your argument doesn't have a very solid foundation. You say, it's "ludicrous" to say news outlets need visibility in Google or FB for people to know what they're saying, you totally miss the point. Yeah, I can set up a web site with my opinions, and anyone can come and find out what I'm saying too. We're talking about how to make economically viable newspapers that provide fact-based reporting (no, not perfectly factual or "true" but a serious effort), and that does require having a presence where a huge share of the potential audience finds their news sources.

If someone could actually build a successful media business on the scale of a serious newspaper without relying on social media to send readers in today's market, why, they'd be the most successful newspaper exec since, oh, I dunno, Joe Pulitzer, who incidentally was famous for something called "yellow journalism," meaning sensationalized, not very factual stuff.

No, NYT isn't some paragon of "truth", but it does make a much more serious effort to report facts than the non-fact based media. Yes there's some slant to its reporting, but its not always the same (news tends to be less liberal than editorial, for example, and they publish quite a few right wing op ed pieces for variety. If you think the quality of journalism on Brietbart and NYT are equivalent, well, you must not think of "facts" in quite the way I do, you know, stuff that actually happened and can be verified.

If anything, this is an aid to type-checking. Since MyModule.foo takes only things of type t, the type-checker's job is extremely easy and it will help you a lot more in cases when your program is incomplete.

So often when using C#-style fluent APIs I find that I'm completely on my own and have to turn a half-written line into something syntactically correct before Intellisense gives me anything useful. Using an F#-style MyModule.foo, the compiler can tell me everything.
The media industry seems to be trapped in an enormous sub optimal Nash equilibrium.

This would be justice though. If you were in it from the beginning as a true believer you probably got tons of money. If you’re just chaser and bandwagoner coming in at the end you will be punished for your greed along with the short sellers.
Also to keep in mind is that their profit margin on services is higher compared to their devices. Hence I'm assuming the upward growth of its net profit margin in coming years along with increasing revenue. Lots of upside for AAPL imo.

That is extraordinary. This really deserves to make the front page. It's a phishing attack aimed not at money but at getting publications in a prestigious journal.

I nearly fell for a vaguely similar attack: an email apparently from a relative's account. It was phrased suspiciously, and then I noticed that the reply-to didn't go to the same account. If I had bitten, I doubt I'd have been taken in by the reply (I imagine they'd have asked for money), but only because of stylistic issues, not technical ones.

So it doesn't surprise me that a better targeted attack could succeed, even against somebody fairly sophisticated.
Right you are. I've taken "Show HN" out of the title accordingly.

Actually, newsletters per se aren't great as HN submissions either. It's a bit like submitting a blog's home page. It would be better to submit the most interesting issue/article so there's specific information for people to discuss.

Maine has far more than enough space to power the whole state, not just a single city. I promise you that finding open space for solar is not an issue in any but the most densely populated areas--there's a huge amount of unused land in the world. The issue with places like Maine is not getting enough power on average, but the fact that it's very intermittent, which requires tremendous amounts of storage to make a majority-solar grid viable.
